Chuckwagon Goat Cheese Burgers with Onion Jam
Ingredients
  • 2
    pounds ground beef
  • 1
    recipe Onion Jam
  • 4
    ounces goat cheese (chevre)
  • 2
    teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2
    teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 12
    slices Texas toast
  • Goat cheese (optional)
  • Golden tomato wedges (optional)
Directions

1. Combine the ground beef, half of the Onion Jam, the 4 ounces goat cheese, the salt, and the red pepper in a large mixing bowl. Divide mixture into 6 portions and form each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

2. Place burger patties on the lightly oiled rack of the grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 18 to 23 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in centers registers 160 degree F, turning burgers once halfway through grilling.

3. Grill the Texas toast, if desired. Spread 6 slices with some of the remaining Onion Jam and top each with a grilled burger patty. Top with additional goat cheese, if desired. Top with the remaining Texas toast slices. Serve with any remaining Onion Jam and, if desired, golden tomato wedges. Makes 6 burgers.

So good! The burgers fell apart a little on the grill, but it didn't make any difference. The house DID smell strongly of onions for the next 24-36 hours, though. :)

We love this burger! I have made this several times for different guests and they all love it. I didn't read the recipe fully the first time I made it so I only made half the onion jam; I didn't realize they were part of the meat mixture! Also good on a regular roll if you don't have the texas toast.
